Date Forever

Our attitude determines how well we do anything and then when we team that with aptitude, we can do awesome things. The same is true for our attitude towards money and finances. When we begin to have long term intent for our relationship, our finances will have an impact on our future together. It's unlikely you've both got the exact same attitude towards money and shifting your attitude together...

The feelings of stress or anxiety don't exist until you have a thought that creates them. Our beliefs and the stories we tell ourselves shape our entire experience of life, love and relationships. If you believe you are unlucky in love, you will be. If you believe an incredible thriving relationship is possible and possible for you, you are a huge leap forward to truly creating it for yourself. Je...

When we are tired it's hard to show up as our best selves for ourselves and for our relationships. Yet catching the Zzz's isn't always as simple and easy as putting your head on the pillow, especially if you are sharing a bed with someone who's got a different sleep style than you.  Sondra Kornblatt helps people struggling with stress and sleep issues. As a sleep and life coach, she developed a un...

It's said that a business, no matter how well intentioned and designed, is only as good as the processes and people who work in it. The same is kinda true for our romantic relationships. We need to collaborate well as a team and head in the same direction at the same time for our relationship to continue to thrive. Karyn McRae & Helen Lynch have been business partners for more than two decades run...

There are so many simple things in life that can bring us happiness; watching the sunrise, splashing in the ocean or exploring a forest. The simple things in our relationship can also be the absolute best parts; appreciating each other, asking considered questions and true quality time doing not much. Making the simple complicated is common, but keeping it simple and consistent can keep your relat...

Have you ever been commuting somewhere, perhaps driving and you've arrived at your destination without having to really think all that much about the route? You've done that path from A-B so often it's now practically automatic! The same thing can happen in our lives where we develop automatic patterns and behaviours and things start running on auto-pilot, even if those actions aren't serving us a...

Is happiness part of your every day? Or is it on the other side of achieving your next goal? When it comes to your happiness, not all contributing factors are equal and the way we feel fulfilled and happy links to both internal and external elements.

We all have our challenges to face and personal demons to overcome, but we can all control how we react and adapt.  Sometimes in relationships the lines of responsibility can get blurred and we unintentionally begin taking on the task of moving through our person's stuff. But our shit isn't theirs to own, it's ours to acknowledge and conquer. Jo Hilder is a writer, artist, an experienced speaker,...

What's important to you might not be important to others and vise versa. But have you ever thought about what makes something a need, more than a want? We are each driven by two primary core needs and the way we behave helps us to get those needs met - sometimes we do this positively, sometimes we do this negatively. Knowing your top two core needs can help you better understand yourself but also...

Are you and your relationship better when you've made the time to connect and have some romance? Imagine if you embedded those moments of connection into every week with little rituals. They can be big or little things like a gesture or words shared in an intentional way. In thriving relationships these gestures can carry more meaning than just the action. Scott James Andrews is a peak performance...

For a fire to continue burning, it needs three things - Heat, Oxygen & Fuel. If it runs out of fuel, it fizzles and dies out. Our relationships and lives need fuel too and as long as we've got it, they can stay alight. Relationship fuel and fire fuel look a little different but the concept is the same. A fuelled up life and relationship is one that has most of the 8 tanks running closer to full th...

In a truly thriving relationship there are three lives - mine, theirs and ours. You may have heard of being independent or codependent but have you heard of interdependence? That sweet spot in the middle where both parties know who they are, what they stand for and where they are going but they have also created something together that is more valuable than the sum of its parts. It looks like two...

When we are experiencing stress, we can't show up as our best selves in our lives or relationships, so how do we get better at managing it? Laura is a stress management expert, speaker and writer. She is the autho...

Have you heard the phrase "love has no boundaries" well we disagree. People and love should have boundaries and sometimes it's the lack of establishing or enforcing them that can create tension, friction and fights. Setting boundaries and communicating them is an incredible skill to master to keep your relationships fuelled up. Charlotte Lane, affectionately known as the Communication Queen with h...

When the trifecta of thoughts, emotions and actions all align, magic happens, especially in relationships.
